We're goin' west to Kaintuck down the road to Moccasin Gap Down the wilderness road The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap
There was a time when goin' way out west meant goin' to Kaintuck The dark and bloody ground as Indians called it Indians wars were ragin' and men like Daniel Boone and Michael Stoner Came down the wilderness road like countless families did Through a place in south West Virginia called Big Moccasin Gap It's a hot day in '73 and this is my wife and my kids with me Daniel Boone lost his boy the other day young Jim Boone is dead twenty miles away The wagons turn and went back home even Daniel couldn't make it alone I guess prob'ly Daniel could but he stopped awhile in castle wood (If you love your wife and love your baby man Turn your wagons back as soon as you can Ev'ry Injun in these hills has gone berserk you never gonna make it to Kaintuck) Ah I bet I'm gonna make it to Kaintuck
We're goin' west to Kaintuck... The Dug Road the old Reedy Creek Road The Road down Troublesome Road through Moccasin Gap
